A list comprising a data.frame ($linelist) and a DNAbin matrix ($dna). $linelist contains the following variables:

$index: numeric identifier of the case
$date: date of case reporting
$latitude: the latitude of the collection point
$longitude: the longitude of the collection point
$has_dna: a logical indicating of the case has a matching pathogen sequence in $dna

$dna is a DNAbin matrix whose labels are to be matched against $linelist$index.
